Surprise Photo

No, it isn’t spring yet in our northern latitudes. Charles, a dear blogging friend, after honestly praising my snow and ice photo essay yesterday, suggested nevertheless to post a flower, which would bring some comfort to all, who are presently suffering from the dismal cold. Hopefully, this violet will be the signal for spring to arrive soon.

Thank you Peter. This is a welcome sight and a promise of things to come. Now I have to break up a heavy coating of ice on my sidewalk and driveway as we had a small ice storm. We are due for 2 – 4 inches of snow this afternoon into early eve. Snow on top of ice as you know is not a good thing. So I will take one more look at the flower and off I go.
